Hello Preemie mamas!!

 My baby was born at 24 weeks weighing in at 1lb 7oz and 12 1/4 inches long due to IC and SROM. Isabella had a PDA ligation, Hydrocephalus due to a grade 3 bleed in her cerebellum.  After 9 days of birth, she had a perforation in her bowel and needed to have an ostomy.  She also had NEC, intubated for 1 month, CPAP for 1 month, nasula canula 1 month and off oxygen for the last most.

 Isabella had 4 operations.  The PDA ligation, a reservoir placed for the hydrocephalus and the ostomy.  Miraculously the hydro self-resolved and the reservior was removed, she also had  reanastomosis to take down the ostomy.

After 139 days in the NICU, Isabella came home at 5 lbs 15 oz.  She is now 7lbs 2oz.

PRAISE GOD!!!

I look forward to sharing with all of you!!!
